Recently the Nintendo eShop went down over the holidays due to the massive amount of users that tried to access the store simultaneously. Many of the users were linked to new accounts, apparently too many for the eShop to handle. Since the problem Nintendo has been working to get the eShop back up, and they successfully have.

The new Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter applications also went down recently. This has caused the release of both apps to be delayed outside of Japan. Currently both apps are still down in Japan but Nintendo expects to have them back soon. Nintendo also does not expect any more problems with the eShop due to this “one-time surge in demand” that has since subsided. These problems come to Nintendo as pleasant ones. It is true that Nintendo had problems but the problems they experienced came from the amount of people buying and enjoying Nintendo products over the holidays.

Now that the Nintedo eShop is back, Ninendo encourages these users to try again with gift cards from Best Buy. Some of the best times to find great deals are right after the holidays have ended. Best Buy celebrates the end of 2013 with a yellow tag event on a number of different products other than just these Nintendo eShop gift cards.
